The sole equally delivers boasting stability, support, and comfort that can last all day.

Initially starting as the Onitsuka Tiger, founded by Kihachiro Onitsuka in 1949, the company formed with the intent to uplift the post-war depression suffered by Japan. The company produced sneakers of varying sports activities used by 50s, 60s, and 70s athletes worldwide. In 1977, Onitsuka Tiger teamed with GTO, a sportswear manufacturer, and Jelenk, a knitwear company, and formed the ASICS Corporation.

ASICS is derived from the acronym of the Latin phrase "anima sana in corpore sano" which is translated to "a healthy mind in a healthy body." This philosophy is aligned with Onitsuka's, that sports and fitness plays a crucial role for a sound mind and body. This principle has been the foundation of every Asics sneaker that has ever been created.

One of the more current designs of Asics is the Curreo, inspired by an 80s running shoe, X-Caliber. Even though it takes cues from a sports-targeted sneaker, it carries the performance of what it should be on the streets.

The Asics Curreo has a padded tongue and collar for additional comfort.

It sports the trademark symbol on the side and Asics text on the tongue.
